The dexamethasone suppression test in generalised anxiety disorder

EE Schweizer, CM Swenson, A Winokur, K Rickels and G Maislin

The dexamethasone suppression test was performed on 79 patients with a diagnosis of generalised anxiety disorder. A non-suppression rate of 27% was obtained, comparable to that found in out-patient major depression but notably higher than previous reports in panic disorder. No good clinical predictors of non-suppression were discovered, nor was the co-occurrence of depression sufficient to account for the finding.
